Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   President Trump will address the nation Thursday night and initial reports are this will be a scathing takedown of election interference and rigging of the 2020 election.  Of course, conservative believers everywhere think this will be the game changer that puts people in prison, changes our election laws forever and leads to a GOP supermajority.  I say don't get your hopes up for any of that.  You'd better show me something first.
   US forces pounded Iran for the third day in a row, this time 5 hours of relentless bombing of "maritime assets" near the Strait of Hormuz.
   Birthright citizenship reform is being introduced in the Senate by Jim Banks and it's a pretty decent plan.
   Kansas drivers shine in the annual poll of safest in America, not so much for Missouri.
   In sports, Jac Caglianone was way too excited and amped up for the home run derby contest as his dad painted the corners and repeatedly pitched it out of the zone.  Still, Jac's bomb in the upper deck was one for the ages.   Patrick Mahomes is no longer the best quarterback in the NFL according to a poll of NFL coaches, scouts and executives.  Mizzou's HOF class is announced.  Norway's star soccer player takes home a wild beast from his time in America and our Final Final is a reboot of one of the most popular tv shows in American history.

   It's a bonus pod as the schedule is a little off this week but we've now learned that Lindsey Graham's sister Darline has been named to fill his seat until an election can be held.
   Then, the Kietzman's and their crew had a completely bizarre interaction with family members of Team Argentina at the Margaritaville Resort pool on Sunday celebrating a friend's birthday.  You have to hear how they acted, how the hotel handled it on their behalf and how much the local owners of the property and development received in tax money from all of us... BEFORE another $200 million more was handed out by all our area governments for this tourney.  It's hard to get me this fired up.  It was fun for awhile but we got fleeced.

We all woke up to stunning news Sunday with the sudden passing of long time South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham.  President Trump said he had just spoken with the Senator, who had just returned from Ukraine, and that Graham sounded tired.  Washington reacted to a man that even many democrats respected and liked.
   Meanwhile, Trump issues a harrowing threat to Iran of what will transpire if Trump is assassinated.  And he's not kidding.
   Argentina needed some drama in the 112th minute of its match Saturday night against Switzerland to advance to the World Cup Final Four.
   The Royals select a right handed hitting outfielder from Louisville with the #6 pick overall in the MLB draft.  He's the third #6 overall in Royals history... the other two worked out really well.
  And Stan Weber joins us after going to Big 12 Media Days last week and our focus is the upcoming season for the Kansas Jayhawks.  This is a make or break year for 6th year coach Lance Leipold.

   As federal authorities ramp up detentions in Kansas City recently, Mayor Q decided to speak out publicly about it....in Spanish.  One thing is abundantly clear, mayor Q is wrong in multiple languages.  He's literally an Ivy League educated lawyer and does not want to follow the laws in place in America that BOTH PARTIES passed in DC.   I may get a little hot on this one.
   Then, the Royals have revealed some of their plans for parking and traffic flow for their new ballpark and it looks pretty good.  A Mizzou great ads to his resume of broadcasting gigs.
   Then, Stan Weber is our KKHI correspondent from Big 12 Media Days as we talk about the league's new title sponsorship, it's place in the football hierarchy and preview K-State.  Monday, we'll have a full preview of KU's upcoming season.
   In our Final Final, the NCAA announces a great new deal with the city of Wichita.

   In one of the truly gutsiest things we've seen yet, President Trump orders two nights of strikes on Iran while he's in a country that shares a 350 mile long border with Iran.  Then, he had to switch airplanes to fly out safely and landed in the UK to swap the first plane out.  Reporters asked what's going on and he repeatedly reminded them a lot of people want him dead.  Meanwhile, a third Trump plane with his family aboard makes history in Florida.  We need a scorecard to keep track of this man.
   The World Cup has a huge referee controversy heading into the France vs Morocco match and the FBI is investigating Argentina soccer for money laundering and bank fraud in the USA.  Oh, brother.
   Missouri beer tax is the second lowest in the country and it brings up a really big question as the state tries to move to zero income tax.
   KC slugger Jac Caglianone is going to be in the HR Derby Monday night at the all star game in Philly for one very, very strong reason.  KSU and KU had media days in Dallas for the upcoming football season and had two completely different story lines.  The Big 12 has added a sponsor to the name of the football and basketball conferences.
   And in our Final Final, an unbelievable $1m ring is given as a gift to a famous American.

   In one of the more unbelievable sports stories you'll ever hear, the Royals were popping champagne bottles in New York just like they did after beating the Mets in the World Series 11 years ago. Why?  Light hitting utility man Tyler Tolbert tied a Major League hitting record for the ages that's less likely to have happened than getting struck by lighting... twice!
   President Trump says he's done with the Iran ceasefire and he said it at NATO meetings in Turkey.  This is really, really gutsy as he's not really as safe there as he is at home.  For now, the ceasefire is over and Trump is done negotiating.  For now.
   ICE agents are increasingly active in one KCK neighborhood and they're happy to have you video recording their work.  We share a list of the most conservative colleges in America, one area school is the most conservative government school.
   In Sports, Messi now has 8 goals in this World Cup as Argentina makes a miraculous comeback against Egypt and will now play Saturday at Arrowhead.  Former KU star Darryn Peterson is killing it in NBA summer play as he's pretty healthy now.  And we've learned that in World Cup cities like KC... it's all about the singles dating scene.  You have to hear this.

   At least we don't have to knit pick reasons why Team USA fell to Belgium in the World Cup because it was all the reasons.  The United States was slow, unorganized and back on their heels.  It was ugly, ugly, ugly falling 4-1 in Seattle.  And if we're being fair, it's not likely men's soccer in this country will be elite any time soon.
   Something really bad is going on with Senator Mitch McConnell who is reportedly being kept alive by a machine at a hospital in DC.  His wife is reportedly in China.  And a GOP rep from Kentucky is blasting the Senate over the Save America Act.  And almost nobody is reporting on this.  It smells more than fishy as nobody wants to keep a loved one alive on a machine for weeks.
   Pastor Adam Hamilton has set a cash record for fundraising, no surprise there.  Getting other people's money is his greatest skill.
   Jackson County property taxes are coming down.  A new survey shows that audio only podcasts are the most trusted and popular podcasts.
    The Hunt family has multiple massive projects underway in Olathe.   Trav and Tay wedding critics are everywhere and it all just needs to fade.  I"m ready for training camp in two weeks!
   The Royals win big and their shortstop goes 5 for 5 and it wasn't Bobby Witt Jr.
    And our Final Final points out a US Senator wearing Mexico soccer gear.   Ugh. 

   Flo will go.  That's the word from FIFA after President Trump called the head of the soccer organization with a plea to review the bogus call made in the USA's game against Bosnia.  Now, Flo Balogun will have his one game suspension delayed for a year.  Can anyone say, "Golden Age?"  We preview Monday night's match against Belgium.
   The America 250 celebration in DC started, then delayed, then delivered even more well past midnight.  America was shining bright all weekend long.
    The airport in Florida near President Trump's house is officially renamed after Trump this week.   The wedding of the year was officiated by Happy Gilmore as Andy Reid gives the deets on how it all went down.   Patrick Mahomes setting off fireworks at his house had Chiefs fans on social media absolutely freaking out.   A three time winner on the PGA Tour breaks down in tears, Pope Leo got a new signed jersey and Joey Chestnut is just flat out the best ever.

   The United States the most entertaining soccer game I can ever remember seeing with a 2-0 win over Bosnia Wednesday night.  They looked like the better team and played lock the better team until America's best player got a red card and the USA had to play the rest of the night shorthanded, down one player.  To say this match was dramatic and wild is an understatement.  We have all the details and explore whether we can get Flo Balogun back for the next match.
   It was just another great moment of this America 250 week.  President Trump flew on the new Air Force One to North Dakota to see the Teddy Roosevelt library and museum.  The motorcade was led by Roughriders on horseback.  God Bless America.
   More communists are winning primaries, the latest a broke 29 year old barista that got fired for bashing her employer for not supporting Palestinian terror attacks on Jews.  Wait until you hear the demographic break down of communist voters in America.
   We have a wonderful conversation about Racin' Boys Co-Founder Scott Traylor with his best friend and long time business and broadcast partner Kirk Elliott.  It's all about the good times.
   And in our Final Final we say goodbye to the German social media sensation that took America by storm.

   The Supreme Court has just initiated the first advertising campaign in the history of the world for foreigners to take over another country.  "We are open for business" is the message the court sent to billions around the world... come have your very own American citizen by visiting our great land.  Stephen Miller has some thoughts.
   This puts the lazy GOP House and Senate on the clock to do something about it.  I've got a better chance of winning Powerball this weekend.
   Malls are making a comeback being reimagined as gathering places for more than just shoppers.  Politico writes a piece on how uncomfortable Dems are that the World Cup is happening in America with such great success.  They wanted to blame Trump for failure.
   Bikers take aim at the Royals plan for a new ballpark.   The Chiefs release new information about their stadium.
   EA Sports college football video game player rankings are out.  Mizzou has the highest rated player among our top three schools.  K-State as the best quarterback.
   And in our Final Final.... we recognize the best "claw machine" in history where you can win an awesome prize for just .25 cents.
